ABB M2M Gateway Integer Overflow in embedded Krb5-libs (CVE-2022-42898)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 503265

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

PAC parsing in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.19.4 and 1.20.x before 1.20.1 has integer overflows that may lead to remote code execution (in KDC, kadmind, or a GSS or Kerberos application server) on 32-bit platforms (which have a resultant heap-based buffer overflow), and cause a denial of service on other platforms. This occurs in krb5_pac_parse in lib/krb5/krb/pac.c. Heimdal before 7.7.1 has a similar bug.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
